Get ready for a burst of vibrant flavors and nutritious ingredients with this Burrito Rainbow Bowl. It’s a delightful and filling dish that serves two and combines the goodness of sweet potato, black beans, fresh vegetables, and a creamy cashew aioli.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup corn
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/2 cup black beans
  • 2 cups lettuce mix
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Pickled veggies (sauerkraut, carrots – your choice)

Cashew Aioli (see recipe)

  • 2 cups sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 tsp smoky paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • 150g cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • Lime juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
  2. Season the cubed sweet potato with smoky paprika and salt. Mix well to coat the sweet potato cubes. Transfer them to a baking tray and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly crispy.
  3. While the sweet potato is baking, cook the rice or quinoa according to the package instructions.
  4. In a bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, chopped fresh coriander, a splash of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss the ingredients together.
  5. In a pan, cook the corn until it turns golden, providing a delicious crunch to your bowl.
  6. Heat the black beans and use a fork to slightly mash them, making them easier to spoon over the bowl.
  7. To assemble the Burrito Rainbow Bowl, start with a base of rice or quinoa, then layer on each topping: corn, the cherry tomato and red onion mixture, mashed black beans, and the baked sweet potato.
  8. Drizzle the creamy cashew aioli dressing over the bowl and add slices of avocado for extra creaminess.
  9. Don’t forget to add pickled veggies (sauerkraut, carrots, etc.) to add a zesty kick to your bowl.
  10. For a satisfying crunch factor, serve your Burrito Rainbow Bowl with a side of corn chips.

Enjoy your delightful and colourful Burrito Rainbow Bowl for a hearty meal for two!
